Even as a person who is generally not a fan of sports, I have to say the Olympics have been extraordinary. Our complaints folder at the supermarket is virtually empty, and not one customer has moaned at me in the past ten days. I don’t think we’ve started doing our jobs better, I just think everyone is in a better mood.
The economy and the world in general is still in the same shitty state it was in two weeks ago but we’re not hearing and reading about it constantly because the bad news is being buried somewhere under the onslaught of sporting success. Any chance we could keep this positive spin on news going once the Games end? No, I don’t think so either…
What a ride it’s been though. We’ve had the Diamond Jubilee and a London Olympics almost back-to-back and both have been successful and everyone everywhere in this country is buoyant and smiling.
I just hate to think what people will be like in September..
